Mary Kay Celebrates Oceans Week by Reaffirming Partnership With the Nature Conservancy
Benzinga Mary Kay is celebrating Ocean's Week by reaffirming its decades-long partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) to support ocean conservation and coral reef protection. Coral reefs, often referred to as the rainforests of the sea, cover less than 1% of the world's surface area but support 25% of all marine life and over one billion people.

Because traditional reef conservation strategies have not been enough to counter the global loss of coral reefs, Mary Kay, a signatory to the UN Global Compact Sustainable Ocean Principles, is supporting experts from TNC, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI), and Stanford University as they lead a collaborative effort to discover the secrets of "super reefs" a diverse coral community within a reef system that is more resistant or resilient to damaging heatwaves in efforts to predict, prove, and protect critical coral reefs.
